first of all i like that setting.. im such a sucker for this time frame.. and also i like the story on how its told.. and the one who kindda is the protagonist of the story is kindda just an instrument to tell the real story.. but he also has his own story!!! and it also helps that theres no romance... itwould just look cheesy if there was...

the letter was actually the thing that kept me hanging... i mean... *sigh* i was so intrigued... the last page just really made me want to cry...

A poignant story that's set in a quiet, peaceful locale. It's slow-paced and carries a feeling of melancholy with it throughout. It also wraps-up quite nicely, leaving no need for extra explanation. The stranger gave the girl the courage to read the words in that letter; the words without which she probably never would've gotten a clear conscience. Makes for peaceful reading.
